Davim J.P. Machining and Machine-Tools: Research and Development

Woodhead Publishing Limited, Cambridge, 2013. XXXV. 238 p. — ISBN: 978-0-85709-154-3 (print), ISBN: 978-0-85709-219-9 (online).Machining and machine tools is an important subject with application in several industries. Parts manufactured by other processes often require further operations before the product is ready for application. Traditional machining is the broad term used to describe removal of material from a work piece, and covers chip formation operations including: turning, milling, drilling and grinding. Recently the industrial utilization of non-traditional machining processes such as EDM (electrical discharge machining), LBM (laser-beam machining), AWJM (abrasive water jet machining) and USM (ultrasonic machining) has increased. The performance characteristics of machine tools and the significant development of existing and new processes, and machines, are considered. Nowadays, in Europe, USA, Japan and countries with emerging economies machine tools is a sector with great technological evolution.About the contributorsAnalysis of acoustic emission signal evolutions for monitoring diamond-coated tool delamination wear in machining
